Product Information

People that are new to the hydraulic and pneumatic industries often ask: What is a dash size? Simply put, a dash size refers to a diameter of a hose, tube or fitting in 1/16" increments. Did you notice that for hose part numbers, we talked about inside diameter, and for tube part numbers, we referred to an outside diameter? This is not an accident. Hoses are measured by inside diameter, and tubes are measured by outside diameter, which is how they are differentiated from each other. Most people think about hoses as being flexible and tubes as being rigid, but in fact, there are some very rigid hoses, and some very flexible tubes. For example, nylon tubing is very flexible, and flexible metal hoses are (relatively) very rigid. The terms AN and JIC are used interchangeably in aftermarket automotive hydraulic systems. Mainly the system is used for fuel and oil systems. Occasionally it is also used for coolant systems, but it is pretty rare. What we’re after in reality are AN fittings, because they offer the best dimensional tolerances, and sealing surface finishes. Not all fittings that look the same, are the same! In Motorsport ¶ When choosing AN fittings for your application, there are several factors to consider, including: Hose Size Many brands offer AN fittings, and it’s important to choose a reputable brand that offers high-quality products. Reputable brands are more likely to offer fittings that meet your specific requirements and are designed to last.

As mentioned earlier, AN fittings are designed to fit a specific hose size. It’s important to choose the correct AN size fitting for your specific application to ensure a proper and secure connection. Application Requirements One of the most important aspects of AN fittings is understanding the sizing. AN fittings are available in a range of sizes, each with a unique designation. The size of an AN fitting is indicated by two numbers separated by a dash, such as “AN6” or “AN8.” The first number refers to the size of the fitting, while the second number refers to the thread size. SAE fittings are typically made of steel and have a 45-degree flare, making them well-suited for use in systems that don’t experience high levels of stress or pressure. AN Fittings vs SAE Fittings: Key Differences It's time to upgrade your engine bay with Mishimoto -AN braided lines and fittings. Mishimoto has released an extensive lineup of -AN line fittings, unions, reducers, and adapters to help complete your project. Each CNC-machined 6061 aluminium fitting features a corrosion-resistant anodized finish, providing a very sleek yet subtle appearance. Mishimoto -AN line ends feature a full 360-degree swivel, making routing and final install a breeze. Mishimoto -AN aluminium adapters and reducers make transitioning to other line sizes and types painless. Our braided line fittings are engineered to withstand substantial abuse, including extreme temperatures and high pressure. The line drawings below depict the actual sizes of the various common NPT thread sizes. If you are unsure as to what thread size you are using lay your fitting over the appropriate drawing to determine its size.In this article, we’ll discuss the history, sizes, types, and applications of AN fittings, as well as provide a guide on how to choose the right fittings for your needs. AN fittings are designed to provide leak-free connections, ensuring that fluids or gases are contained within the system. This is particularly important in applications where the safety of the system or the environment is a concern. Durability SAE fittings are identified by their SAE size (ie: SAE-3, SAE-4, SAE-5, etc.) and designed to meet SAE specifications and standards. Where are SAE Fittings Used? Fuel lines are an essential component in any vehicle, providing the necessary fuel to the engine. AN fittings are commonly used in high-performance fuel systems, as they are designed to handle high pressures and provide a secure connection. Oil Coolers AN fittings are commonly used in high performance and racing applications where the need for high flow and leak-free connections is critical. They are also used in aircraft, military/tactical, and industrial applications where lightweight and high-pressure fittings are required. A

The unique design of AN fittings features a 37-degree flare at the end of the fitting, which provides a secure and leak-free connection with a compatible hose. With a range of sizes and designs available, AN fittings are suitable for a variety of applications and provide numerous benefits, including flexible hose connections, leak-free connections, and durability. AN stands for Air Force – Navy Aeronautical Design Standards, and it is used for fittings. Can I combine AN and JIC couplings? These types of fittings are commonly made of steel and have a 45-degree flare, which helps to create a leak-free seal when used with a hose that has a matching 45-degree flare. These fittings are commonly used in traditional automotive applications, such as in brake and fuel systems, where they provide a reliable and secure connection.On AN 37° flare fittings, both male and female fittings are made according to class 3A/3B UNJ/UNJF radiused root threads. J screw threads have a root radius that improves the tensile stress area of the fastener while reducing the stress concentration in the thread. This makes the thread stronger and offers the benefit of tighter tolerances and better fatigue life for aircraft, aerospace, and military applications. AN fittings are a flare fitting, using 37° flared tubing to form a metal-to-metal seal. They are similar to other 37° flared fittings, such as JIC, which is their industrial variant. [2] The two are interchangeable in theory, though this is typically not recommended due to the exacting specifications and demands of the aerospace industry. The differences between them relates to thread class and shape (how tight of a fit the threads are), and the metals used. Although similar, 37° AN and 45° SAE fittings and tooling are not interchangeable due to the different flare angles. Mixing them can cause leakage at the flare. If you are familiar with AN adapters and fittings, you have probably heard of SAE fittings as well. SAE fittings are fittings used in automotive and industrial applications. SAE stands for Society of Automotive Engineers, a professional organization that sets standards for various automotive and industrial components, including fittings. Although developed and produced to a lower standard, JIC and SAE fittings are nearly identical to AN-type couplings. These are used extensively in agricultural equipment, construction, heavy machinery, and automotive industries. What does a class 1A and 1B thread fit mean? Fittings are a little different and slightly more complex. In the part number 10343 -8 -6, for example, -8 is the size of the fitting end connection, and -6 is the hose size.
